Titian2: A Scalable System-Level Emulator with All Programmability for Datacenter Servers in Cloud Computing

Abstract

In order to provide the cloud computing research community with a full-system level datacenter server emulator with programmable hardware and software, and stimulate more innovative research work, this poster and demo shows a scientific research platform, Titian2, designed and implemented at ICT of CAS. Titian2 has the ability of on-line profiling and measuring, and the scalability of connecting with each other. Researchers can deploy complete software stacks and run normal server workloads on Titian2. As a microscope for cloud computing workloads, Titian2 provides scholars with more details of data movements inside both software stacks and hardware components, compared with an x86 commercial platform.
